#80, VM, EX-P, S100 -- 97 Prelude

**vinnymack** · 08-20-2004, 04:16 PM

So i bought the Prelude from my cousin for $5,000 and the paint needed some TLC. To start it off it

Wash

Mothers Clay Bar

Wash

DACP on the hood on a CMA cutting and polishing pad

followed by #9 on polishing pad on 4

#80 the whole car with polishing pad on 5

VM with polishing pad on 4.5

EX-P with finishing pad on 4

next day a fresh layer of s100 paste wax

i finally got the chance to try VM and EX-P for the first time ( courtesy of my cousin)

VM - This stuff is very nice and slick I can immediately tell the paint had a more wet look and slicker finish

EX-P - The smell is great...like cookies hahaha.. Im going to try it by hand next time cause it seems to cake on the finish pad alot. Overall apply and removing was effortless :up

warned you about EX-P. It`s thick stuff. You`ll probably be bored with your car`s finish in a couple weeks, so come by for more products to test out. :xyxthumbs

Excellent work! Even in the sun, you have silver paint looking wet!

EX-P smells like cookies?

more like pina collatas!

very nice job. VM and EX-P is a great combo. next time, try the VM with the finishing pad, and EX-P by hand.

$5K seems like a killer deal. Great job on the paint.

That is definitely one of the wettest silvers I`ve seen so far!
